WRF4.2.1 restart run crashes with "forrtl: severe (66): output statement overflows record, unit -5, file ...

[Klemens]

Hi all,

I try to make a restart run with WRF4.2.1.m, but directly after starting I it stops with the following error:

alloc_space_field: domain 1 , 144503580 bytes allocated
forrtl: severe (66): output statement overflows record, unit -5, file Internal List-Directed Write

Attached is my namelist.input.

What is wrong ? Are there any inconsistencies with respect to the restart case ?

Many thanks in advance !

Further checking the internet boiled down the problem:

https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF/issues/975

I could circumvent the problem by setting links from the directory where restart files are stored (defined by "rst_outname" from namelist.input) to the directory where WRF is run. You may find a Python script here (https://github.com/KlemensBarfus/WRF/blob/master/link_restart_files.py) doing the job for you.
